When I woke up the following morning, I found myself still encompassed in Sora's embrace. It was so warm there...
In spite of now being wide awake, I wanted to stay there just a little longer, and nestled closer, pressing myself beside him. It was odd, but... Being this close to him soothed the ache in my abdomen. All it was to me now was a dull ache that I hardly noticed. For that I was grateful...
Sora really was the best medicine, wasn't he...
I smiled to myself and pressed comfortably against him. I hadn't been coiled there for long when I felt Sora shift, letting out a soft grunt as he stirred. I smiled gently and tilted my head to look at him.
"Morning," I greeted.
He rubbed the sleep from an eye as he peered over at me with the other sluggishly. "....morning....."
My face felt warm. He was so darn attractive.
He ran a hand through his hair and yawned as he looked back at me. "You been up long...?"

"Nah."

He let out another soft grunt, the sleep still hanging on him as he stretched. I sat quietly, just looking at him. He met my gaze and looked back at me with a light laugh. "Why are you staring at me?"
I shrugged casually. "Just looking."
He rolled his eyes and slid closer on the bed, propping himself up enough to hover over me, cupping my cheek. We held a gentle eye contact for a few moments before he leaned down and pressed his lips to mine. I melted to him easily, raising a hand to tangle in his long auburn hair. Soft as hell... Just like his kisses.
We'd been so swept up in the moment that we didn't notice we had an audience until we heard someone clear their throat.
We immediately parted and turned to see a widely grinning Haruka.
"Guess the both of you are feeling better if you can do things like that."

"Haruka...!"

I sat up, excited to see her, but was immediately struck with a sharp ache and held myself. The moment Sora wrapped an arm around me for comfort, however, the ache dulled, and I let out a breath in relief, nodding to Sora to assure I was fine. Turning back to Haruka, I grinned broadly. "You're still here!"

"Of course, baby! My parents don't know, though, so shhh."

I gave a light chuckle at my goofy friend and turned as someone else came into the room.
"... Ayanooooo!"

"Yuto!"

The cute little boy looked as happy to see me as I was to see him. "You're awake!!"

"Yeah!"

With Sora's help, I stood up and went over to pull Yuto into a hug. "Yuto, I'm so sorry I snuck out and caused a whole bunch of trouble..."

"I'm just glad you're alright... Mostly."

We squeezed each other and I could see Sora sneering at the sidelines. I parted slightly from Yuto and turned to Sora. "Wanna explain that sour look?"

"You never apologized to me for your escapades in the forest..."

"I was in the forest for you in the first place, you big baby."
We all laughed at Sora's still sour expression until it hit me. That same excruciating attack like the night before. A strike of pain that shot through me like a bolt of lightning. Only this time...
I screamed.
